Add oil or water to a medium sauce pan and add garlic, ginger, cumin, and turmeric. Sauté 2 min until fragrant. Add in rice and stir to combine. Pour in water, lime zest, and lime juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the beans to a small saucepan with jerk seasoning and aminos. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes until heated through.
Prepare your kale by adding it to a large mixing bowl and drizzling with lemon juice and olive oil. Use your hands to massage the kale for 15-30 seconds until tender. Divide between 4 serving bowls.
Once the rice is ready, stir in the carrot, cucumber, coconut, cranberries, almonds, and cilantro. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through and carrots have softened.
Top kale with rice and beans. Garnish with additional cilantro and hot sauce if desired.
